She later shared a tweet that said that this announcement is “not sad news. It’s staggeringly beautiful news. A wise warrior knows when he or she should retreat,” and added the hashtag “#MeTime” at the end of the tweet.

In the series of tweets, she suggested that it was her book, Rememberings, that made her realize she no longer wanted to be a part of the music industry.

In November, she told her followers on Twitter that she endured a lot of “trauma and abuse” when she was growing up. Due to this, she turned to music and “never learned really how to make a normal life.”
